Hi! Call me Shark or Pumpkin (she/they). I'm 24 years old. I'm mostly a pet dreamer, but I sometimes dabble in age dreaming. Icon is made from a picrew made by danidoninha. I'm still kinda working on this blog. DNI: n/s/f/w/t, k1nk, r4c1st, or r.adf3m
I figure some pet regressors/dreamers like wearing actual collars from pet stores, but I personally am not into it, and I imagine some people are afraid of being judged or having someone they live with find their collar. If you're looking for something more subtle, maybe try a choker, especially those lace ones! I've also seen dogs and furries wear bandanas around their necks, maybe you could try that for pet regression/mood too!
Us on a Thursday night seeing what day is coming tomorrow.
Friday is here! Make your weekend as amazing as you.

This applies to anyone, but I really want to emphasize this to my fellow survivors who went through trauma as children and/or teenagers.
I’m so sorry you lost part, most or all of your childhood. Please give your inner child what you can. This includes comfort but it also includes doing the things you didn’t get to if you can.
Play the fun games. Buy the tasty treats. Go on adventures to the park and swing on the swings. Watch cute movies. Make crafts. Blow bubbles. Or any things like that! Embrace your inner child and let that inner child enjoy things they never got to or didn’t get to enough.
It’s not too childish or too late. You can’t get your childhood back but you can still help your inner child.
It's therapist approved! It's good to learn the triggers of your involuntary regression, and keeping a journal can help keep track of when it happens, how it happened, and any external factors that incited it. It's also good to keep track of voluntary regression, as the reasons you regressed/needed to utilize a coping mechanism are just as important!
Writing helps put emotions into words. It's often difficult when regressed to communicate what we need or how we feel. Journaling provides a neutral space where you can write anything you need to, and no one will see it unless you show them. It's a good way to get negative emotions out in a healthy way rather than a harmful one. And it doesn't just have to be words, using scribbles or stickers can be as effective as words when it comes to getting your emotions out.
It can be tedious to keep all your arts and crafts in one place, but it's very easy to put them in a journal! Coloring pages, worksheets, and holiday crafts can easily be glued into a journal for safekeeping. Sticker pages are some of my personal favorites, since I always have stickers and never know where to put them!
Feel free to add reasons why your journal helps you!!
Don't forget to take some time for yourself, kids. If you're not feeling much like yourself that could be a sign that you might be neglecting some of your needs. You deserve to be treated kindly, especially by your self :)
